Best of 5: Snack Time Snacks …
Kung Fu Drafter
Snacks. We all munch on them. Whether you are working hard on that next set of plan sheets, gaming with your crew in your favorite MMO, or just lounging about your suede couch, we all munch on snacks. While that may be a common trait, that is about the end of the similarities because the range of things we snack on is far and wide. Sort of like us when we snack to much!
Fruit (bananas, apples, etc.) and cheese
Ah fruit, nature’s candy. Can you really ever go wrong with sliced fruit? “Would you like some cheese?” Yes, thank you. Unless it is like a kiwi or a cantaloupe. And yes we know cantaloupes are actually melons and not fruit. Either way a chunk of cheese doesn’t sound like a good idea on a cantaloupe.
Steak Bits
Probably the most fulfilling-sounding of all the snacks we had submitted. This reader said that he likes to take left-over steak and cut it into little bite. Then it is into the bowl and by the keyboard for a mid-raid or regen-ready protein power-up. Don’t forget the tiny bottle of A-1 to go with it!
Oreo Cookies and Peanut Butter
This is the product of nothing less than evil genius! Oh sure, you might be popping the tops off two double stuff Oreos and making “quadruple stuffed” Oreos, but are you adding peanut butter? We didn’t think so. Just hit this with the Blendtec and give it to us in intravenously.
Popcorn
Not only good for movies, popcorn is a favorite snack food of the young and old alike. Whether it’s plain, gourmet, or double-extra-movie theater grade “butter” there is probably a pack of popcorn in every home in America! In fact, did you know that 89.45% of all popcorn is microwaved? Neither did we until we made that number up.
Animal Crackers
This really is getting back to your childhood roots, right here. Who doesn’t have those nostalgic, childhood flashbacks to the little red box with the string handle that you munched on at recess? Do they even still sell animal crackers that way? They weren’t quite crackers and not quite cookies but they were damn good. It’s no wonder that so many people still enjoy as snacks to this day!
The Best
It’s never an easy choice to determine the best of the candidates given by our crowdsourcing sample. On the one hand, steak bits sound yummy and filling, but Oreos dipped in peanut butter is so sinful we need to go to confession for just thinking about it. Still, in the end there can only be one Best of 5, and this week the best snack is animal crackers.
We don’t know if it’s fond childhood memories, that bizarre psuedo-cookie taste, or the fact that we like biting their little heads off. And they are cheap! You can get like 20 pounds for $1! Whatever it is, it all comes together to make animal crackers the best snack food on our list. Oh who are we kidding, it’s the head biting thing.
Now that we think on it, what would happen if you dipped animal crackers in peanut butter …

We're all familiar with the classic pepperoni stick - well, my co-worker has them made custom, with moose or caribou, and jalapeno peppers. To die for by themselves, totally awesome in spaghetti, jambalaya, soups, pizza...
Wow. We didn't even know that you COULD make a sausage out of caribou! Or ... anything for that matter. Do you suppose there is such a thing as caribou fajitas?
